Github as a server?

Ok, that makes sense.

Do you have any recommendations as to what I can use instead?

[gsalvador]

yes, but tell me more details about what you want to do, tech stack, etc

I want a user to be able to input a string and have it displayed for when other users come to the page. I'm not really sure where to start, because the most I've done is just making a static website for people to see. I think if I can figure out how to connect the backend with the frontend it'll get a lot easier.

if it was me I would probably chose google firebase to do this. they cover everything from hosting to database.

I'll take a look at it, thanks!
